Phoebe dates a guy who works at Monica's restaurant, which poses a problem when she decides to dump him and Monica decides to fire him.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: Okay. But the question is, who's gonna go first? Because whoever goes second is the bitch.
Monica: What do you mean?
Phoebe: Come on, the boss that fires a guy that's just been dumped? Bitch! And the woman who dumps a guy that's just been fired? Blond bitch!
Monica: I wanted to do this days ago, so I think I should go first.
Phoebe: All right, that makes sense. But screw you! I'm going first!
